Imran Khan's tumultuous return to Pakistan

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been released on bail after being arrested by 100 paramilitary officers. Khan has vowed to hold mass protests until early general elections are called, which he is expected to win. He has accused the military of colluding with foreign powers and being involved in assassination attempts on his life. The government has pledged to re-arrest Khan as soon as legally able, indicating that Pakistan’s volatile days are likely far from over. Khan's anti-military and anti-west narratives are increasingly popular, as is his representation of himself as a man of the people at a time of economic strife in Pakistan.
